Reply To: Different breeding methods

The answer is yes, they are always breeding anyways no matter where they are at, it is just like you said the breeding tank simply allows you to catch the eggs. I would suggest to anyone wanting to start breeding fish to go with the zebra danio first. They are a very hardy, very prolific species of fish which are easily bred. In fact if your community tank is well planted there is a good chance that one day you might wake up to find a few new editions to your tank. If you watch closely, especially in the morning you will see them chasing each other at the bottom of the tank. When the male finally does catch a female you will see them shimmer and shake side by side and them suddenly out of nowhere eggs will burst out all around the two fish. Then just as fast as they were created by the parents they are gobbled up by the parents or surrounding community fish. This is why it is important to use methods that keep the hungry parents out of reach of their newborn eggs. If anyone has anymore questions don’t hesitate to ask, I love every aspect of breeding and and taking care of these fish or any freshwater fish in general.
